Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m looking forward to this panel at Texas Book Festival, starting in about an hour. I love nonfiction about animals and the environment, so this panel is one of my most anticipated this year.

Most of the panels will be available to watch for 30 days after the fest, if you‘ve missed something! www.Texasbookfestival.org

Dual Citizens is about two sisters, Lark and Robin, and their childhood with a neglectful mother, then adulthoods starting out together but separating for very different life paths. There is a bittersweet twinge of not understanding each other while also having a bond that only comes with siblings.

I‘m glad I came across this author at last year‘s #TXBookFestival. I‘d read more by her.

Attended an interesting panel discussing cultural obsession of women and violence. Fascinating and disheartening. I‘ve stacked both books discussed (I‘ll tag other books in comments) and will hopefully be able to read them in the new year. #txbookfest #txbookfestival

Trying to manage my time efficiently (and still see all the things) at the #txbookfestival today 📚💜📚 #atx #texasbookfestival

Bought my tickets tonight for Madame Secretary at #BookPeople & Dan Rather at #txbookfestival I'm so excited! #politicaljunkie #atx

Hearing Yaa Gyasi speak was a dream come true. Homegoing was hands down in my top 5 books this year. So good. Hearing her story and background was so interesting. Made me love the book even more if that's possible. 💜📚 #allthebooks #books #txbookfestival #texasbookfestival2016 #yaagyasi #homegoing

First panel session today with both of these amazing authors. I can't wait to hear their insights! #txbookfestival

Had a great time in rainy Austin today..picked up some awesome books and got to listen to some wonderful authors...my favorite panel was Jung Yun who wrote Shelter and Kelly Luce who wrote Pull Me Under discuss writing dark stories. #txbookfestival #bookhaul

At #TXBookFestival panel "Writers on reading". I enjoyed both @ChrisBohjalian and Helen Ellis' points of view on literature, and added a bunch of books to my TBR! Thanks!

I love this story #setinasmalltown in Vermont, as most of Chris Bohjalian's books are. A white police officer and his wife adopt a 10 year old black child, who isnt aware of the complicated situation he's moving into.

I'm also incredibly excited to see Mr Bohjalian speak at the TX Book Festival today and hopefully get a couple of books signed! He's been one of my favorite writers since the mid 90's!
